AI match recap
PAOK need an immediate reaction in a high-pressure Toumba fixture after the Kalamata loss. Iraklis are in steady form and arrive with the defensive discipline to turn this into a frustrating, territorial contest. The hosts retain the stronger attacking platform, but their squad is depleted in goal and missing several useful attacking options. A fast, aggressive start from PAOK matters, while Iraklis’s best route is to remain compact, absorb pressure and attack the spaces left by advancing full-backs.
Injuries and absences
PAOK are without Pavlenka and suspended Tsiftsis, making the goalkeeping department the clearest disruption. Pelkas and Despodov are also absent, removing important creativity and wide delivery from a side likely to face a packed Iraklis defence.
